Sepal Length vs Sepal Width
Iris Setosa species have smaller sepal length but larger width.
Versicolor species have mainly average measures for both sepal length and sepal width.
Virginica species have larger sepal length but smaller sepal width.
There is no clear relationship between Sepal length and Sepal width. However, Setosa exhibits a more positive relationship, implying that sepal length and width move in the same direction, lower values of length are accompanies by lower values of width and vice versa.
Petal Length vs Petal Width
Setosa species have the smallest petal length as well as petal width.
Versicolor species have average petal length and petal width.
Virginica species have the largest petal length as well as petal width.
There is a positive relationship between Petal length and Petal width for all the three species of the Iris flowers. This implies that smaller petal lengths have equally smaller petal widths, and vice versa.
Measure Distribution
As highlighted above, the distribution of the measures for the species can be confirmed using the box plots under the measure distribution tab. In terms of Petal length, Setosa, have smaller median values compared to Versicolor and Virginica, but virginica indicates that most of the values are on the higher side as indicated through the right hand side extended line.
Setosa species have outlier values for petal length and width. Equally Virginica have outlier values for sepal length and width.
Technical Considerations
This assignment was accomplished using the R Programming Language with heavy usage of the tidyverse suite of packages.
Thanks to Flexdashboard, the magic wand that stitched the visualizations into a coherent dashboard.
All the visualization were created using the ggplot2 package, may the geoms live on!
